None of them were built by our designers. They were all built by advertising agencies. This leads me to believe that maybe this "wmode" attribute only works with certain versions of Flash? I'll need to do some more research first, but that's what it appears to be. The interesting thing about some of the other ads staying on top of the corner peel.

I agree w/Josh on the font choice for the tent sale ad though. Icky. I also agree w/jgasm on the retardedness of linking to a big ol' pdf. And, that the effect isn't really too obtrusive. A little annoying maybe, but a whole lot better than a big old popup window... Bling. Flash. Bling. Not to nit-pick, but does the top ad bleed over onto the bottom ad in everybody's browser? I can't really explain it, so I did a screen cap to show what I mean. I stuck it <a href="http://timcantreid.com/video/DNewsScreenCap.mp4" rel="nofollow">here</a>. No big deal, was jus' wunderin'. Note the CPU usage, too -- peaks at around 90% when mousing over the bling-peel. Looks really nice, j3ph. I agree w/Josh on the font choice for the tent sale ad though. Icky.

Tim said it best: "People like to see bling, and that is exactly what that is."

It's obtrusive in any way. I think it's funny they link to a 3 MB pdf though. ;) I like the ad as well. It’s obtrusive in any way. I think it’s funny they link to a 3 MB pdf though. ;)

The ad looks pretty good...I have to admit. I honestly don’t know if the guy that built it is using a template or not. The ad looks pretty good…I have to admit.

I'm actually impressed with how it turned out. I like the effect a lot but whats with that horrible font thats being used? It makes me shudder. Did he use a template or is that a secret? :) As far as covering up the other ads, I didn’t think it was too big of an issue. I’m actually impressed with how it turned out.
